the boiling pot

went in today and waited too long for subparfoodthat was not cheap! i will pay for goodfoodand i will eat subparfood(fast food, cheap mexican, etc) but i do not like to pay to much for not good food. make thefoodbetter or lower the price.

we discovered this place late in our month in mobile but will make it back for sure. thefoodis absolutely delicious and reasonably priced considering what you get.

we order the mahi mahi (incl. 2 sides $13) and the catfish pierre (incl. 2 sides $10). both were outstanding! the pierre was 2 healthy pieces of catfish covered in a rich and creamy sauce with either crawfish or shrimp, maybe both. i'd order it again... and again.

we also tried the fried shrimp (10 pc. for $10 incl. 2 sides). another hit! the mix of sides were corn, cheese grits, shrimp jambalaya, and broccoli casserole. all were simply amazing.

regarding the criticisms of the service, i suppose i understand. the person at the cash wasn't particularly friendly, at least not to us. the service is a little slow and it doesn't look like it's as efficient as it could be. but considering it's an order-at-the-counter type restaurant, service isn't really what the place is about. i would dock one point for that but then i'd reinstate a bonus point for the exceptionalfoodand value.

you only get one chance to make a good first impression and they failed.  our experience was a long wait time on what appeared to be a slow thursday night, 20 minutes for simple items.  our wait time gave us the opportunity to look around at the torn vinyl benches, dirty and sticky floors, afoodserver constantly playing with her hair, dirty tables, all in a very drab atmosphere.  with all of the negative it was hard to focus on the food, which was marginal at best.  do yourself a favor for future customers and use something to absorb the grease out of the pita chips that come with the cheese dip.  and pretend that you are a real restaurant and fix or replace all of the torn vinyl seats.

don't eat here. our horrible experience started from the cashier who refused to speak correctly because she didn't want to show her teeth when she talked.... she would get frustrated when you were unable able to understand what she was saying. the good time does not stop there! when we placed our order, we were told that the items we wanted were no longer available...and that was half the menu. the items that were available and we did ordered ....is not what we received? ??? thefoodquality was poor !!!! and the service was horrible!

not worth it!. used to be great and worth the money. went in today and waited an hour for subparfoodthat was not cheap! i could have gotten better from a fastfoodjoint or the frozenfoodsection of a grocery store! manager hid in her office and when she did come out she wouldn't say a thing to a customer and looked like she just came out of a hunting camp! will not be back!

tonight we called in an order to the airport blvd location not only could i not under stand the man's "ghetto" accent he didn't even know their menu, he also asked me "what my name is" before he hung up on me (without giving me a total or a thank you). when we can to pick up our call in order we talked to a manager who informed us that the boy isn't even suppose to answer the phone "he does not know how to answer the questions properly". when we walked up to the counter to get ourfoodwe were told they do not start cooking thefooduntil you come in and pay, oh and we had to reorder because our order was not put in.. i would not recommend this resturant/ location.

prizes have gotten ridiculous!!!!. me and my family loved the boiling pot, the place was packed every time we went and we "used to go often" because of the reasonable prices and big potions....but the last time we had been the prices had gone up to just a little and we had stopped going...recently me and my mom wanted to take my dad for his birthday about 2 days ago...we got to the restaurant....the shrimp plate is $25.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....and the portion was not worth it....the menu that comes up on google is bogus!!!!!!!.....our total was $108.58 for fastfoodwtw......my dad (mind you this is his birthday) told us to get a good look around because we will not be back!!!!!!....don't get me wrong if you have that kind of money to blow like that go ahead but as for me and my family we will not be back..and when i have my own family we wont be either.....unless the prices go down..lol.....hope this helps

avoid!! horrible!! do not eat here!. (airport blvd location) we went here hoping for decent seafood and boy were we beyond disappointed!! the quality of thefoodand the whole experience feels like a fastfoodplace although i've eaten at much better fastfoodplaces. we *tried* to order the snapper, but they were out (on a monday) so then we *tried* to order crab cakes, nope, strike 2, they were out of those too! the french fries that came with the kids' meals tasted like freezer--probably ore-ida reheated. the hushpuppies were well/over done!! after choosing something other than the snapper, my husband's po boy was cold. he ordered no ketchup and so he got no ketchup and no mayo, no moisture, just dried out bread and dry sandwich with lettuce that looked old and not stuffed--hardly any meat--it looked like a sad kids' cafeteria meal!! they called us to come pick up our order only to tell us that part of the order wasn't ready so really the order wasn't ready so while somefoodsat, we sat and waited another 5 or so minutes for one plate/order before the complete order was truly done. we asked for water cups. the kids got their small kids' styrofoam cups for their drinks and we (adults) got even smaller plastic cups for water. the size cup was laughable--about half the size of the small kiddie cups!! overall, just avoid this place at all costs!!!!

say what ????. my family and i have been loyal boiling pot customers for years. the shrimp plate was always our choice, with the tilapia and/or catfish plates running a close second. the quantity, quality and taste was always wonderful! a good casual place to eat - as well as easy to order to go dishes. sure, i ate out of a paper box-thingy, my sides were in styrofoam ... all to be eaten with plastic utensils and paper napkins. but, it worked! now !!! ??? !!! to increase the shrimp platter from $13.99 to $25.00 with no increase in service and/or (especially) friendliness from the staff taking my order is beyond sensibility! when/if i pay a minimum of $50 for 2 dinners, i am going to be seated, have my taken by a wait-staff member, eat on "real" plates with "real" silverware, and when i finish i will wipe my mouth with a cloth napkin. not a tiny paper one that will shred with the first use - plus i won't be expected to bus my own table!!! for that amount of $$s, no one would expect to line up to order it, cart thefoodto a table oneself on a plastic tray ... in addition to get one's own drink and condiments in a communal beverage station. believe me, i don't have a problem doing that - but i do have a problem paying $50 for thefoodwith no change in anything else! tilapia plates increased from $10.99 to $17? get real! this is not a 5-star rated restaurant with 5-star service! i can eat shrimp from oodles of restaurants within 5 miles of yours and have a wait-staff member serve me - for w-a-y less than $50. yes, i loved yourfood- but i will now miss your food!

good food. thefoodwas great and very reasonable to me. i had the crab legs on one visit and the next i got the popcorn shrimp and the portion size was a lot. the customer service sucks but thefoodis great

food is awesome, employees always seem like they'd rather be somewhere else. i have never had a pleasant customer service experience here and it's too bad because thefoodis fantastic. i felt bad for asking questions and i felt bad for forgetting my ticket to pick up my food. as i walked away the girl was whispering about me. sheesh.

big menu change. boiling pot used to be a great place to get seafood at a reasonable price. the new menu has changed much of that. different menu items and much different prices. i went to get a full size shrimp po-boy that my girlfriend and i were going to split. used to cost $14 or $15 and was plenty to fill up both. new menu price for a 6-inch shrimp po-boy w/ no fries is $10. i went w/ the fried shrimp basket instead for $10 and my g/f got the fried crawfish tails basket. while my portions were enough, hers included much morefoodand she took home quite a bit offoodfor leftovers. the prices have changed dramatically and so has the menu. went in knowing i was going to get out of there for under $20 but it was about $30 after it was said and done. thefoodwas good but it was not the same place... plus the girl taking our order had her head resting on her hand and didn't look up the whole time... never a good start to a meal.

the manager told me she would microwave my food!!!the worst experience ever. the most unprofessional rudest "manager" michelle mckinney has no knowledge on customer service! after waiting 30 minutes for myfoodi told the young lady at the counter i had to leave bc of an emergency that had happened. so i left and called to let them know it would be a while b4 i could get myfoodand asked if she could remake myfoodwhen i'm able to come back. the manager michelle mckinney told me she would not and that she will microwave my food. i told her i would just come get a refund, then she told me she would go ahead and remake my food. once i get there i told her i want to order something else of equal valve (thinking she would still microwave my food) and she refused my service. she needs to be fired! i will never ever eat here again and will tell everyone about this business! they don't appreciate their customers. i was a weekly customer spending about $70 a week... i'll take my money to some other place who appreciate their customers!

so good. trust me this place is the best friedfoodplace in town. tell em' niqqa sent ya!

can't drive thru mobile without a trip to the boiling pot. the poboys are amazing!!! it's a lot offoodfor your money. always fresh and seasoned perfectly. they offer a wide range of seafood and sides. don't miss these poboys, very very tasty!!!!
